Penn-Craft Historic District, Historic district in Luzerne Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania.

The Penn-Craft Historic District spans 175 acres containing 108 buildings, including fifty stone houses constructed between 1937 and 1943.

The American Friends Service Committee established this subsistence homestead community to provide housing for unemployed miners during the Great Depression.

The Colonial Revival architecture, designed by William Macy Stanton and David Day, represents early 20th-century community planning responses to economic difficulties.

The district boundaries are defined by PA 4020, Township Road 326, and Township Road 549, featuring a cooperative store established in 1942.

The community includes original frame temporary houses and a knitting factory from 1939, demonstrating the industrial-residential mixed development approach.
